Abstract:

We present a novel evolutionary computing framework, Wallace,
that achieves ease-of-use and genericity, via a domain-specific language,
and simultaneously achieves efficiency via meta-programming, as well as supporting parallelism.
Wallace also includes a novel multiple representation model of individual development,
realised using meta-programming. We describe the Wallace framework,
illustrating it with a number of example problems from the literature.
We compare the performance of this framework to existing EC frameworks;
early results show improvements in both conciseness and speed over popular alternatives.
Finally, we discuss the future of EC frameworks, and the ongoing developments to the Wallace framework.
